A daily dice-placement puzzle. You place dice one at a time on a small grid, and every row and column gets scored against a list of combos: Two Pair, Small Straight, All Odds, Four of a Kind. The same die counts toward both its row and its column, so each placement is a tiny optimization problem. Same dice for everyone, every day. The same 16 random rolls land in your hands as in everyone else's. Your score sits next to a histogram of the world's scores on the same puzzle. Was today an easy 8/8 or a brutal 4/8? You'll know. WHAT'S IN IT • Daily 4×4: 16 dice, max 8 points. New puzzle every day at midnight local time. • Weekly 5×5: 25 dice, max 10 points. Harder grid, fresh puzzle every Monday. • Gauntlet: a survival run of back-to-back boards with climbing score targets. Three hearts, a perk to draft after every clear, and one question: how far can you go? • Twist: 20 puzzles that each bend one rule. Blocked cells, locked dice, no-undo boards, or a golden cell that doubles every line through it. • Free Play: unlimited 4×4 or 5×5 puzzles for practice or warm-up. • Challenges: 100 hand-curated puzzles across 4×4 and 5×5 where a perfect score is always reachable. Earn 1, 2, or 3 stars per level. Ordered easy to hard. • Community: browse puzzles other players have shared. Build your own and share via link. • Streaks: daily and weekly streaks track how many days or weeks in a row you've played. • Stats: average score, best score, score distribution over time.
